Why does chosing Sugar-desktop alone (no kde or gnome desktops) result in an incompete sugar installation?

I suspect it could but sugar is key to the OLPC folk
and they to not need an emulator etc.  Thus they would
not quickly add a requirement that conflicts with their needs.

Having said that you might ask for a pseudo package
something like "sugar-on-fedora" or "sugar-without-olpc"
that installs some readme files in /usr/share/doc/sugar

I believe that the OLPC sugar desktop and its activity oriented
interface is "a good thing" and it would be valuable 
as a school or home user interface for the non wizzard user
(children, gramps...).
